https://youtu.be/p97jiEcXgbs

I am joined by my friend George for my philosophical Sunday show, as we discuss the nether regions of the economy, politics, and current social dynamics. Where are we headed, and who (if anyone) is pulling the strings? George has some strong views, some of which are at odds with some of mine, though there are areas where we are in heated agreement.

It is important to explore different stories. And thanks to George for helping out with the recording and editing.

This is the latest in our “Rabbit Hole” series. The others are:

Evergrande – Fragile Handle With Care – Market Update 18th Sep 2021

The latest edition of our finance and property news digest with a distinctively Australian flavour.

In today’s show we look at the latest market data, and focus in on the big questions around China Evergrande Group, as opinion is divided between those who think this could be a replay of Lehman Bros leading to a broader financial crisis, and those who think the CCP will ultimately save the day. It seems the international markets are not so worried, for now. But I would remind you September and October are witching months for financial crashes, and there is plenty of reasons to think this might be true in 2021. And meantime the FED has its own problems as it came to light that two Federal Reserve bank presidents had engaged in controversial stock trades. And then there is the failing iron ore price…

The latest edition of our finance and property news digest with a distinctively Australian flavour.

In today’s show we discuss the latest home prices data from the ABS, the RBA’s view on future interest rates and why we need a though policy review, what’s happening with Evergrande (which some are suggesting is a Lehman’s 2.0 – but I have my doubts), and more broadly the economic fallout of Delta.
